If you haven’t already, you are sure to notice all the colors available when it comes to wedding invitation papers.

White has always been known as a traditional color with another popular choice being ecru which appears as more of a warm creamy beige.

Those who would like to make a more colorful statement can easily choose a solid colored invitation paper. There are plenty of paper choices now available in bold and brighter colors. Some invitations may even have a subtle background design or graphic that contrasts against the paper color to create an elegant appearance. When choosing a solid colored wedding invitation, please remember that not all ink colors may look good when printed on that particular paper color. If shopping online, there will usually be a tip indicating which ink colors are suggested or your ink choices may just be automatically limited as you go through the process of creating your personalized invitation.

If your choice is not to be quite so bold, why not choose a style that is white but also has some obvious color added to the invitation design presenting a striking impression.

Another option that may be a compromise between traditional white and more vivid colors is the softer look of pastel colors. Again, keep in mind how your ink color choice may look against the pastel invitation paper before placing your order.

If you really want to send out unique wedding invitations, how about a style that uses translucent (see-through) paper. Often times, translucent paper is layered over another paper.

For western wedding themes, brown kraft paper can be a popular choice giving your invitations a rustic look.

If you are looking for modern wedding invitations, a pocket invitation might be your choice. This design comes with a solid colored envelopment that not only holds the invitation card but also has a pocket for holding any enclosure pieces such as your reception and/or response cards. This will help your guests keep all your invitation pieces easily accessible and organized in one place. The envelopment then folds up to fit into your mailing envelope.

Today’s paper choices truly allow wedding couples to be original in their wedding invitation design.
